	I thought for sure the final bond was man. I probably tried that about 10 times because I couldn't think of anything else. Keep these quizes coming, please!

	Crap, I got my long wavelengths and my short wavelengths confused again. Useless Physics degree.

	During this quiz, I stumbled upon a couple answers I'd never heard of and I figured I'd write a strongly-worded comment about them. Ginger Bread and Bread Stick, of all the nonsensical etc etc ... Oh wait. Gingerbread and Breadstick? Yeah, I know what those are.

	much more challenging than similar quizzes, this one i had to work the whole thing out before i finally got the final bond where as other quizzes it became clear what it was faster. 5 orbs!

	I realize that this probably isn't the most PC thing, but I tried 'wife' for 'kitchen whistler.' In my defense, I was thinking more of the innocent '50s when I wrote that, but I can't help but feel a tad sexist.

	It's a little confusing with the layout. It would have worked better if the first nine sets of clues went down instead of across. (eg The first row of grouped clues were 1, 4 & 7. The next 2, 5 & 8 and the last 3, 6 & 9.) That way the "COMMON BOND OF THE 3 WORDS ABOVE" would really be directly above, and not up and to the left or up and to the right.

	That was really good. It made my brain hurt! One that totally got me was "Good; ticket". In the UK we don't use "ticket" as a verb, so I was searching along the lines of "pass", "permit" etc. And who on earth is Mary-Ann?

	@MrEnglishman: Mary Ann's from Gilligan's Island. Don't they have that show over there across the pond?

	I'll answer for MrEnglishman. No, we don't.

	This one is just ridiculous, too much for a Saturday night. I did, however, randomly type "ball" as my third guess and it came up as the final answer, so that's a win in my book!

	@nms9807: Ticket = Fine, as in a speeding ticket.

	Well that was pretty anticlimactic. I was guessing words when I saw field roller street and typed ball...

	chikka2:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 13:31 GMT		4 points
	brilliant game, right to the last second. Love the plays on words! I would agree about the "fine, ticket" a bit of a stretch...thank you for the fun!

	I tried Dinah for kitchen whistler. Then I realized it was a banjo,and it was not whistling, but strumming. And that it wasn't Dinah but someone who was in the kitchen with her. And that was when my brain came to a complete halt. Which I can sort of forgive it for.

	canine tooth was pretty hard. Sour bread? I've heard of sourdough bread, never sour bread. I guess we should expect these when it gave us the middle finger.

	I kept thinking the "Hard Water" clue referred to water that has a large concentration of calcium and other minerals not frozen water. And im not trying to be picky and im probably wrong but isnt ice less dense than water which means its "soft water"?

	bergen195588:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 21:32 GMT		0 points
	I definitely typed 'cougar' for 'refined woman'. Am I a bad person? Also am I the only one who thought that the common bonds were for each column, not each row, because it says 'common bond for the above 3 words'? As in, I thought it would be bread, signal, oil, not bread, drum, hockey.

	@sasquatch: You tell me. Which would you rather have dropped on your head? A bucket of hard water or a nice soft frozen bucket of ice?

	...what is sour bread?

	@ultimatematthias: the iron cross was a military award in prussia and germany and still is a pretty famous symbol that you've probably seen before. more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross whale oil is oil that's made from the blubber of whales. it was the major goal of whaling expeditions.
